hey so i've got a real problem — shopify keeps overselling our hazy ipa because square at the taproom doesn't tell it what we've sold. i refunded like 6 people this week, it's embarrassing. can you help me connect them somehow? (novice)
So they're dealing with a real operational issue—Square sales from their taproom aren't syncing to Shopify, which is causing inventory problems and oversells.

Alright, let's fix this. I'm diving in now to see what we're working with and map out how to get Square talking to Shopify so you stop leaving money on the table with those refunds.
Let me start by reviewing the requirements and checking the existing project structure—looking at Home.tsx, the schema, and routes to understand what's already in place.

Judge 7/10

The opening message is well-calibrated for a novice — it uses their language ("leaving money on the table with those refunds") and avoids any technical vocabulary. The three N/As that follow are appropriate for routine file reads (within the max-3 rule), though we don't see a closing bookend because the transcript ends. No hard checks are triggered: no bare technical terms leaked, no unreported snags.
